SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 16, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register 
the countervailing duty order on millwork products from China.\1\ On 
February 2, 2026, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice 
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order for the 
period of review January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025.\2\ We 
received timely requests for an administrative review from the 
Coalition of American Millwork Producers (CAMP or petitioner),\3\ and 
five Chinese producers of subject merchandise: Bel Trade Wood 
Industrial

[[Page 69816]]

Co., Ltd Youxi Fujian (Bel Trade), Baixing Import and Export Trading 
Co., Ltd Youxi Fujian, Fujian Hongjia Craft Products, Co., Ltd., Huaan 
Longda Wood Industry Co., Ltd, and Longquan Jiefeng Trade Co., Ltd. 
(Jiefeng) (collectively, Bel Trade et al.).\4\ We initiated an 
administrative review with respect to 34 companies on March 31, 2026, 
in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).\5\ On April 14, 2026, we placed 
on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for the 
entries of millwork products from China during the POR and invited 
interested parties to comment.\6\ No interested party submitted 
comments regarding the CBP data. On May 14, 2026, we selected Bel Trade 
Wood Industrial Co., and Zhangzhou Wangjiamei Industry and Trade Co., 
Ltd., as mandatory respondents in the administrative review.\7\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 29, 2026, the petitioner timely filed a withdrawal request 
with respect to 14 companies for which it requested an administrative 
review, and Bel Trade withdrew its request for an administrative review 
of itself.\8\ On July 30, 2026, Commerce issued a memorandum of intent 
to rescind the administrative review with respect to 21 companies that 
had no suspended entries of subject merchandise in the CBP data during 
the POR and inviting interested parties to comment.\9\ Commerce 
received no comments on the intent to rescind memorandum. On August 3, 
2026, Bel Trade et al. submitted a letter notifying Commerce of an 
errata in its withdrawal of administrative review, stating that its 
rescission letter was intended to withdraw the review for all companies 
in its review request.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See CAMP's Letter, ``Partial Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated June 29, 2026 (CAMP's Withdrawal of 
Request); see also Bel Trade et al.'s Letter, ``Withdrawal of 
Request for Administrative Review,'' dated June 29, 2026 (Bel Trade 
et al.'s Withdrawal of Request).
    \9\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, In 
Part,'' dated July 30, 2026 (First Notice of Intent to Rescind).

Request for Administrative Review,'' dated August 3, 2026 (Bel Trade 
et al.'s Errata to Withdrawal of Request).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 25, 2026, Commerce issued a memorandum noting that all 
companies requested for administrative review for the POR had either 
been withdrawn in entirety by requesting parties or did not have a 
suspended entry of subject merchandise during the POR. Commerce stated 
that we intended to rescind the administrative review in absence of any 
suspended entries during the POR from companies subject to the review 
for which all review requests were not withdrawn and invited interested 
parties to comment.\11\ We received no comments from interested 
parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Memorandum, ``Correction to Previous Memoranda and 
Notice of Intent to Rescind Administrative Review,'' dated August 
25, 2026 (Intent to Rescind and Errata).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation. On June 29, 2026, CAMP and Bel 
Trade et al. both submitted partial withdrawals of their respective 
review requests,\12\ and Bel Trade et al. filed an errata to their 
review request to clarify a full withdrawal.\13\ Accordingly, we are 
rescinding the review for the 14 companies for which all requests for 
review were withdrawn.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See CAMP's Withdrawal of Request; see also Bel Trade et 
al.'s Withdrawal of Request.
    \13\ See Bel Trade et al.'s Errata to Withdrawal of Request.
    \14\ See Appendix I for a list of companies for which all review 
requests were withdrawn.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, Commerce notified interested parties that, in the 
absence of suspended entries during the POR, we intended to rescind 
this administrative review with respect to the producers and/or 
exporters listed in Attachment II of this notice, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).\15\ We received no comments from interested parties on 
this memorandum. Therefore, we find that there are no reviewable 
entries of subject merchandise for these 20 companies based on our 
review of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data on the 
record.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See First Notice of Intent to Rescind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of a countervailing duty order when 
Commerce concludes that there were no reviewable entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR for an exporter or producer.\16\ Normally, 
upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are 
liquidated at the countervailing duty assessment rate for the review 
period.\17\ Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, 
there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct 
CBP to liquidate at the calculated countervailing duty assessment rate 
for the review period.\18\ As noted above, there were no entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR from any of the companies remaining 
under review. Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable, suspended 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are rescinding this 
administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1) and (3).

    \18\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this 
administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly, 
the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal 
to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the 
time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during 
the period January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary 
information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is 
subject to sanction.
